¹Ahihhangin, huaiin Jona a lunghi sak het keia, a heh hi.

¹But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.

²TOUPA kiang aha thuma, AW TOUPA, ka honngen hi, hiai ka gam ua ka om laia ka gen hi lou hia? Hiai jiakin Tarsis lamah ka tai mang paha: hehepih thei Pathian, lainatnaa dim, heh mengmenglou, chitna hau, thil hoih lou lehngatsan sek nahi chih ka thei hi.

²And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

³Huaijiakin, AW TOUPA, tuin ka hinna honlaksak dingin ka honngen hi; kei dingin hin sang in sih a hoih zo ngala, a chi a.

³Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.

⁴Huan, TOUPAN, N aheh maawk na hih dik hia? a chi a.

⁴Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?

⁵Huchiin, Jona bel khopi akipan a pai khiaa, khopi suahlam pangah a tua, huaiah sawlbuk a lama, khopi tung a thil hongtung ding muh tumin a nuai limah a tu nilouh hi.

⁵So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.

⁶Huan, TOUPA Pathianin umgui a nasep khawla, huai tuh Jona tungah a jamsaka, a haksatna akipan honkhe dinga a lu liah dingin. Huchiin Jona umgui jiakin a kipak mahmah hi.

⁶And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.

⁷Ahihhangin Pathianin, a jingsang phalvakin, leikha a nasep khawla, huaiin umgui a seuha, a hongvuaita hi.

⁷But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.

⁸Huan, hichi ahia, ni a hongsuahin pathianin suahlam huih a na sep khawla; huan, niin Jona lu a haia, a sibupa, amaha din sih a ngena, Kei dingin hin sangin sih a hoihjaw, a chi a.

⁸And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.

⁹Huan, pathianin Jona kiangah, umgui tungtang thuah na heh mawk na hih dik hia? achia. Aman, Sih loh hialaka heh, ka hih dik ahi, a chi a.

⁹And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.

¹⁰Huan, TOUPAN, Na gimpih louh, na khansak leng hi sam lou, jan khat tha a hongoma, jan khat thua mang nawn umgui na hehpihaNinevi khua, khopi thupi tak, a sunga mi nuai khat leh sing nih sanga tam, a taklam uleh a veilam uleng khen tuan theilou te leh ganhon tampi omna, ka hehpih kei dia hia? a chi a.

¹⁰Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:

¹¹Ninevi khua, khopi thupi tak, a sunga mi nuai khat leh sing nih sanga tam, a taklam uleh a veilam uleng khen tuan theilou te leh ganhon tampi omna, ka hehpih kei dia hia? a chi a.

¹¹And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more then sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?
